"Have you heard the story about Cui Zhu killing Duke Zhuang?"
Seeing his mother-in-law happily wanting to knock him a few times, Li Po fought back.
Sure enough, Li Bi was ignorant and incompetent. When talking about allusions, she was often at a loss and was no better than him.
There was no way, Li Bi was a woman, and she came from a Kansai family. She had read very few books, and she was trained by her father to be a warrior.
Therefore, the couple is said to be a good couple, and most of them will stay away from knowledgeable people who quote scriptures.
However, Li Po is now much more powerful than his wife. He still takes the time to study and fill up his knowledge base. He communicates more with his subordinates and increases his knowledge. Unknowingly, Li Bi is falling far behind her husband.
Li Po drank a drink and looked at the "stupid" mother-in-law. He felt a little proud and wanted to see our joke. Hum, maybe in the next life.
"Cui Zhu was a minister of the State of Qi. He killed Duke Zhuang of Qi and established a new king. Later, he ordered Tai Shibo to compile the history, and Tai Shi Bo annotated it. Cui Zhu killed Duke Zhuang. When Cui Zhu heard about it, he was furious and killed Tai Shibo.
Then he ordered Tai Shi Zhong, Tai Shi Bo's younger brother, to succeed him. Tai Shi Zhong also ordered Cui Zhu to kill Duke Zhuang, and Cui Zhu killed Tai Shi Zhong.
Taishi's uncle continued to do so, and Cui Zhu killed Taishi's uncle again.
His younger brother Taishi Ji was asked to write history in person. Taishi Ji was not afraid and wrote on the slips that Cui Zhu killed Duke Zhuang. Cui Zhu had no choice but to let him return home.
When Taishi came out during the season, he met Nan Shi and asked you why you are here. Nan Shi replied, I thought you were dead and I could take over, but seeing that you are still alive, are you following Prime Minister Cui? Then your three
Didn’t my brother die in vain?
Taishi Ji gave a brief explanation, and Nanshi was relieved and left with a big smile..."
The short story is extremely exciting, but it also reveals the cruelty of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The integrity of the ancient sages is vividly displayed on the page, almost bursting out of the page.
Li Bi's blood boiled when she heard this, and she slammed her wine glass down on the table, "That Cui Zhu is really hateful. If we see him, we will kill him immediately."
This is basically how scholars fool people. Li Po immediately became happy when he saw his wife.
Li Bi then burst into laughter and said to herself, I just wanted to make you happy so as not to think of ways to punish Xiao Shiwen. In her opinion, Xiao Shiwen looked like a famous minister, at least better than Feng Deyi.
The old fox looks much more pleasing to the eye.
Although the character of the Taishi Bo brothers is admirable, people who regard life and death as a joke just for a few words may only appear at that time...
Li Po was laying out his fallacious theories again, "So, in all dynasties, there were not many loyal ministers, but there were just fewer people who could tolerate them."
As he spoke, he looked askance at his wife.
Li Bi gave her husband a big roll of her eyes and said, "My husband's ability to brag has improved, so I will give you another drink."
Li Po snorted in dissatisfaction, "When have you ever seen me brag and talk nonsense? Who dares to talk nonsense in front of your husband now?"
Whenever I sit down, I must present the facts and reason. Once the truth is explained clearly, even if it does not suit my wishes, I will accept their advice. This is called open-mindedness, and this is called tolerance. Do you understand?"
Li Bi rolled her eyes, "Now I'm going to say something that my husband doesn't like to hear..."
Li Po took a sip of wine and immediately waved his hands and said: "You should take a break, let us take a breath first... Hum, Xiao Shiwen is too stubborn, and what he said is indeed unpleasant. Don't imitate him."
The couple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They were still so happy and interesting getting along.
………………
The life of Cheng Dabeard, who was thousands of miles away, was not so pleasant.
There was also a woman sitting in front of him, a tall woman who looked half human and half ghost.
Her name is Subisura, and she is now the eldest queen of Subi, and her sister Subimulla is the younger queen.
That's right, Subi had already returned to the country at this time.
The civil strife in Tubo has been going on for some time. Subi, Xiangxiong, Domi tribes and other small countries conquered by the Yalong tribe have established themselves on their own. No one cares about who the new king of Tubo is, and no one will listen to his orders.
After Langri Lunzan conquered various tribes, the accumulated grievances and disputes broke out after his death.
Cheng Zhijie and his party, as envoys of the Tang Dynasty, bypassed the Daxue Mountain, which was later known as the Bayankara Mountains, and arrived at the Supi King City via the Domi tribes.
At this time, the Tubo flag could no longer be seen on the King's City of Supi, but the Asura flag of the Supi people was restored.
Cheng Zhijie did not walk very fast, but with the guidance of the Tibetan guide, the journey went smoothly.
When they passed through the Duomi area, they were entertained by the tribal leaders there.
The local indigenous people seemed very enthusiastic, allowing Cheng Dabeard, Hou Junji and others to finally experience the exotic customs.
Cheng Dashu made friends again and stayed in Domi for some time.
He asked the people here if any caravans from the Tang Dynasty had passed by before, and received an affirmative answer.
Cheng Dabeard and Hou Junji secretly gritted their teeth. The bastards from the Military Intelligence Department were really a bunch of bastards... They had no intention of waiting at all and ran towards the Tubo King's City in a hurry. They didn't know where they got the confidence.
Did the chaotic gods of Tubo give them the courage?
When Duomi was a guest, Cheng Zhijie and others learned about the origin of the tribes of Duomi. They originated from the Western Qiang.
Therefore, Domi was also called Yak Qiang in the past, and the big river around them was called Yak River by them.
If a knowledgeable person came here, he would know that they should probably be the descendants of Xianling Qiang and Laojie Qiang.
The Western Qiang colluded with the Xiongnu during the Han Dynasty, and after being defeated and expelled by the Han Dynasty, they fell into pieces. Some of them fled to the south of the snow-capped mountains and settled down. This is the Western Qiang species in the southern highlands.
Today's Supi and Duomi tribes are all descendants of the intermarriage between the Western Qiang and local indigenous people, so they have always been inextricably linked with the countries in the Western Regions.
Because their ancestors were the eagle dogs raised by the Huns, the overlords of Hexi back then.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expanded the territory thousands of miles away, causing these Western Qiang tribes to flee in all directions. Today, the Qiang tribe in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, some tribes in Shu, and among the countries in the Western Regions, Bailan in the north of Tubo, the Dangxiang Qiang, and Supi,
All the tribes of Domi can be related to the Xiqiang of that time.
From this, we can actually see what kind of harsh external strategic environment the Han Dynasty faced after the founding of the country, and the merit of Han Wu lies here, as he almost eradicated all external threats to the Han Dynasty.
As the saying goes, a thousand wounds to the enemy will result in eight hundred losses. In the last years of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, most of the Han's fatigue came from these foreign wars. He was given the posthumous name Wu, and that was indeed correct.
………………
Domi and Supi are related, share neighboring territories, and have roughly the same customs.
In the past, many Domi tribes had the habit of marrying with Supi. Until Langri Lunzan conquered Supi, the Domi tribes succumbed to Tubo, and the first choice for marriage partners became the Tubo royal family and the great nobles of Tubo.
But to be honest, in the eyes of the Tubo nobles, they were just northern savages. They were called Nanmo, and the country was even known as the Eight Nanmo Kingdoms. In fact, they were regarded as subordinates of the Supi people.
Only when collecting taxes do I think of the Tami tribes.
On the other hand, Tubo, which had only been founded a few years ago, did not have much control over the Domi tribes scattered in the vast wasteland under the snow-capped mountains.
When the Tibetans sent troops to conquer the north, there was not much movement among the Domi tribes. They only symbolically sent some food and grass when the army passed by.
And like the Supi people, they are full of resentment about having to pay a lot of offerings every year.
There are two main reasons why they were so enthusiastic about the envoys from the Tang Dynasty.
One is that they have always liked doing business with people, especially people from the north. Whether they come from the Western Regions or the lowlands, they will bring many precious and novel goods.
Therefore, they naturally like to open trade routes. Of course, they will also be very happy if they do business without capital.
For example, when the Tibetan merchants came back from the north in an endless stream, they made the Domi people very envious and jealous.
The second reason is also related to this. When the news that Commander Zilebu, who was born in Supi, fell into the lowlands and ruined a large army, the news reached Domi and Supi.
They now knew the name of the Tang Dynasty and understood that the more correct choice was to interact with the Tang Dynasty properly and conduct normal trade.
It can be said that the military victory allowed the Tang Dynasty's influence to spread to Tubo.
Again, if you want to interact with these tribes and talk to them properly, they usually won't understand. You must first say hello with a knife, otherwise all they will see is a fat man who can go up and grab a handful at any time.
Just sheep.
So the envoys from the Tang Dynasty were well entertained here.
Cheng Zhijie was inquiring about local news, and the Duomi people were also asking curiously what kind of country Datang was, and most importantly, what benefits could it bring to them in the future?
If everyone talks like this, it will be like Cheng Dabeard's rhythm, so he has made many friends in Domi.
Hou Junji was beside him making suggestions, and the two of them cooperated with each other even more tacitly.
The weather gradually became colder. Under Hou Junji's constant urging, Cheng Dabeard, who was a little optimistic, finally reluctantly set off and led people from Duomi south to Supi. It took more than half a month to travel.
After a while, we arrived at the royal city of the Supi people.
No matter how much they complained about not being able to catch up with those bastards from the Military Intelligence Department in front of them, they did enjoy the benefits. Those who pretended to be caravans gave them a good foundation in the front.
When a group of them arrived at King Subi City, they were not only accompanied by the leader of the Domi tribe, but they were also received by Queen Subi.
There is a very solemn ceremony.
Queen Subishura summoned the nobles and went out of the city to welcome the envoys from the Tang Dynasty. She also held a sacrificial event and chopped off the heads of a group of slaves in front of the envoys to please the emperor who sent the envoys from the Tang Dynasty to King Subi.
God Asura.
